The last dance episodes nine and 10 officially ended on Sunday night and so we now have spent I feel like we need to put all this together and maybe we could do one of these like a special montage where we discuss all 10 of the last dances and have an open from the last five Monday.

Today shows as we have been reacting to these episodes. There was not necessarily the earth shattering.

Revelations here although I would say we'll get to the Jordan flu game which doesn't necessarily have the same ring when it's the Jordan food poisoning game.

But to me this was what we've been building for throughout and I didn't enjoy as much the 1998 championship as I did the overall meandering to get here and we're going to get into this a lot I would imagine before all is said and done.

But ultimately I think Michael Jordan won his seventh championship last night that's even more the case if the NBA doesn't come back and let me explain what I mean by that.

Jordan clearly at the end of this documentary last night was making it very evident that he didn't want to end I felt like we could have won seven he said it was maddening to leave at the peak.

And I think you kind of knew it was maddening to him to leave at the peak because he came back and he played with the wizards which they didn't even mention as if it didn't happen at all and for Jordan that final shot on Brian Russell even the way he called it BS on the push off said he didn't push off at all they had the great

Bob costus line but the way he posed and I loved the zooming in on all of the different reactions in the crowd and there was that one bulls fan kid in the crowd and everybody else and Dennis Rodman said what everybody in that entire arena knew and everybody watching at home knew.

And by the way that's still the most watched basketball game in the history of basketball you want to think about how wild that is never in the history of basketball have more people watched a single game of basketball then game six of the Chicago Bulls against the Utah Jazz.

The most watched since James Naysmith invented the game the most watched game of all time.

Jordan brought people into the sport that otherwise were not even basketball fans and that ultimately to me is that that moment of him posing as he drained that jumper.

There were so many iconic and legendary moments in Michael Jordan's career but to finish it that way with that being the final shot that he ever attempted for the Chicago Bulls is the ending that you probably couldn't have written any better than the way it all finished.

And so for Jordan to go off writing into the sunset at least as they Chicago Bull with six titles in eight years and to still fill as if it were maddening to have left then and there.

I don't know the one thing I will say about Michael Jordan's era is I think there would have been so much pressure on Jerry Rinesdorf and Jerry Kraus and everybody else that I'm not sure they would have let we would have.

Let the bulls.

And without being beaten on the court and so if the NBA doesn't come back this year and I think the NBA should come back this year and I think the NBA will come back this year.

But if it doesn't I want you to think about the way that you and your kids and many other people will think about the coronavirus quarantine era 20 years from now.

I think you're going to believe and inextricably have connected in your mind this Michael Jordan run in your mind as a big part of what you remember about the coronavirus let me explain the way our minds work.

We remember everything much better than it actually was.
